AT ENGEL'S HOME.
His Wife's Great Sorrow-Preparations for
the Funeral.

His Wife's Great Sorrow-Prepsratton for
the Funeral.
CHICAGO, November 12.-At the home
of George Engel there has been a solemn
throng passing in and out since morning.
The door Of the little cigar store which
Mrs. Engel has managed since the arrest Of
her husband, was draped in morning. In
tie back room lay the bodies of Louis Lingg
and George Engel. They are in their cof-
fins, and no one was permitted to take
more than one look as he passed along.
That portion OF Lingg's head which was
torn by the cartridge, had been filed
up with chemicals and plaster of
Paris. A handage hid the wounds
from the gaze, otherwise the face was well
preserved. In the brow there was a trace
Of this awful determination which must
have nerved the bomb-maker to place the
candle in his mouth. A dull gleam Of
that glaring eye was still perceived between
the half-parted eyelids.
Engele face was as calm and Indifferent
as when he stood on the scaffold yesterday.
The
HAGGARD FACE OF MRS EEGEL,
who frequently passed through the room,
was pit.ful. Hardly one out of twenty
who 90 in to view the remains speak their
minds in English.
1t was definitely decided this afternoon
that the remains OF August Spies should
not be laid in the Aurora Town Hall to-
morrow. State Representative Frank A.
Stauber, who is at the head of the commit
tee Of arrangements, declares that the re-
fusal to allow the remains in the hall was
due to the fear Of the owners that the po-
lice would revoke their license to sell liq-
vors in it should it be done This the
owners deny. One Of them DECLARED that
the only reason for refusal was the fact
that the place had already been engaged
by other parties for an entertainment.
Punc;ually at noon the friends of the
Anarch hists will be admitted
TO TAKE LAST LOOK
at the corpes at their late homes, and
shortly after this the cortege will start from
Mrs. Fischer's house. 1t will stop at Mrs.
Parsons house, where the hearse contain
taining his coffin will take its place in the
procession, and the Knights Of Labor and
Others will fall into line. The concourrse
following Spies body will join the process
sion to where Lingg's ard Engel's bodies
lie. Then the procession will be formed
with the committee at the head, followed
by the Aurora Turnverin, the Knights of
Labor organizations, German Typo2raph-
ical Union No. 8, the Carpenters Union,
tie Printers Union, singing societies in
carriages, the hcarSes, and the families,
relatives and friends in carriages.
Brass bands with muliled drums will
play funeral marche', while the cortege
moves on to the Wisconsin Central depot,
where special train viii take the funeral
patty to Waldheim cemetery. The
SPEECHES WILL BE MADE
in Euglish and German by well-known
orators, selected by Messrs. William
Holmes and William Urban. 1t is deter
mined TO make this the greatest ever held
in Chicago, il the authorities do not pre-
vent it Plaster casts have been taken Of
the faces of the dead Anarchists, except
that Of Lingg.
The question of the primary disposal Of
the dead Anarchists was settled this alter
noon. They will he taken to Waldheim
Cemetery and placed in the vault for the
time being The committee represented to
the directors of the cemetery that the vault
IN Waldheim being lately constructed and
on improved principles, was the strongest
of ony cemetery vault near Chicago. Mr..
Stauber declared to the directors that it
was feared by the friends of the Anarch-
lists that a determined effort would be
made by physicians to get possession of the
remains for dissection, and they wanted
them we'll protected. At last che directors
agreed to allow the bodies to be placed in
the vault, but reserved their decision as to
whether they would sell to the committee
a plot of ground in which to bury the re.
mains.
